Self-cleaning glass roof lanterns for Redruth homes
A coated outer pane that breaks down dirt in daylight and lets rain wash it away.
In midsummer the noon sun stands about 63.2° high over Redruth, so roof glazing gets the full strength of it. That is why solar-control glass is worth considering on larger lanterns here.
- Rain sheets off and carries dirt away
- Less cleaning on hard-to-reach glass

Planning and building regulations for Redruth
For homes in England, a new or replacement rooflight should achieve a U-value of 2.2 W/m²K or better in the horizontal position, under Approved Document L.
On a permitted development extension the lantern counts towards the extension's height; on an existing roof, a rooflight projecting more than 150 mm may need planning permission.
Building regulations in Redruth are checked by your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. Replacing a rooflight in an existing home is building work. Installers registered with a competent person scheme can self-certify; otherwise building control must be involved.

Questions from Redruth
Does it work under trees?
Less well. Sap and leaf debris build up faster than daylight and rain can deal with them, so lanterns under trees need more regular rinsing.
Is self-cleaning glass the same as solar-control glass?
No. Self-cleaning is a coating that sheds dirt; solar control reduces heat gain. Many lantern units combine both.
Can you fit a roof lantern in Redruth?
We can quote for fitting where we have cover. Send your postcode and photos of the roof and kerb, and we will confirm before quoting.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Redruth?
With the midsummer sun about 63.2° high at noon, roof glass in Redruth gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
